Do you honestly think that Davy saved HTAFC,....Town were having problems financially ,so they say,Giants didn't contribute one iota to the running costs of the galpharm and never will with there poor support . |

have you looked how much it costs to fund a football team in comparison to a Superleague team even a Division one team still will cost far more money to run.

We own 20% of the Stadium !!
Actually Ken Davy owns 60% of it from what i am aware of.
Town were on the verge of bankruptcy and about to go under thats why Ken bought them , without him they would have gone ! |

does it heck , the 2 clubs are run as, always have and always will be run as seperate companies. if either was dipping into the others pockets i'm sure the IR and the sports' govering bodies would have said something by now............oh and by the way were upto 8000+ gates now !!
And Towns gates aren't that much higher these days.....they may announce crowds 'much' higher but thats becasue they count season tickets in every crowd regardless of whether there actually at the game ! |

I don't see the issue of moving a few games while the pitch is being done, as a previous poster said they can't do it in winter and it should give Halifax some revenue. As for sharing grounds with town its the only way that teams can survive in this day and age.

Why don't they just merge with Halifax.
There is only a couple of miles between the grounds and obviously Giants fan doesn't mind going to The Shay.

| Quote: CAT TRICK "Once again a rugby team playing in a football stadium gets the boot.
Huddersfield giants are to play there next three home games at The Shay Halifax, to allow for pitch repairs and grass growing at the Galpharm stadium.
This to me is a team who can't fulfill there home fixtures in there home ground and not a muffle from the RFL. IMO this is wrong VERY wrong.We have had Wigan at Sale and now this. Do you think the FA would allow this kind of thing in the premier league. What ever the RFL should NOT. ![]()
Will you still feel like this if next weeks announcement is that Steve Parkin is coming on board and we are likely to grounshare with a Football team??
As much as Hudds are not my favourite team this is just a ridiculous argument to start....

It does have a bar yes, I took a team to play there v North Derbyshire Chargers in the Merit League (didnt play on the main pitch). Yeah, no dugouts, no turnstyles - impressive for Merit League standard, and possibly even NCL standard, but no higher I would have said.

If it wasn't for Sheffield Eagles they wouldn't have existed.
Are they Hudd-sheff or Sheff-hudds. A marriage made in heaven (or was that Red Hall)  |

I don't see a problem with it but didn't like the town fan having a pop at Rugby league teams even if they are not even my own.

Why do you even feel the need to defend this one. Who cares, let it go. |
